For Love and Babes & Cafe au Play

Help Build the Village

Every family deserves a village. Your gift helps build one.

Parenthood is full of incredible moments, but it can also feel overwhelming and isolating. No parent should have to navigate it alone.

Through the partnership of For Love & Babes and Café au Play, we're creating a stronger network of support for families in Southwest Colorado, from pregnancy and postpartum through the early years of childhood.

Your Gift Makes a Difference

💛 You help parents find their village.
Your generosity creates opportunities for parents and caregivers to build friendships, share experiences, and find encouragement during life's biggest transitions.

🌱 You make support accessible.
Your gift helps provide free and affordable parenting groups, educational resources, and early childhood programs so more families can find the support they need.

🧸 You give little ones room to grow.
Your support helps create welcoming spaces where children can play, explore, and learn while their caregivers connect with others.

Together, We're Growing Our Village

As Café au Play joins forces with For Love & Babes, your generosity will help us welcome more families and expand opportunities for connection and support.

When you give, you're doing more than supporting a program. You're helping a parent feel less alone, a child discover something new, and a family find a place to belong.

Help us build the village every family deserves.

Testimonials

"Café au Play is exactly the community hub we needed when we had our first child. It's a fantastic space to connect with other moms and parents during those challenging early years, and it offers the best outdoor play area for summer mornings. We're so deeply grateful for this wonderful place!" - Kelly Zepelin

"I really appreciate meeting other families. My kiddo loves exploring the play space and is making little friends." -Micah Helton

"Finding a place in Durango that is free for young kids is amazing! My toddler loves attending the music classes and Montessori classes. As a mom, I have found a whole new friend group that I never would have found if not for coming to the Café. I appreciate all the things that Café au Play does!" -Dani Zafar

"Before Café au Play, I didn't have any friends or really know anyone. Now for over two years I've had friends, acquaintances, support and fun activities that make me feel like I'm part of a community." - Elle Anderson
